Tuzigoot Poncho ~ This poncho is named Tuzigoot after one of the largest and best preserved ruins of the many Sinagua pueblo ruins in the Verde Valley of Arizona. The word “Tuzigoot” is Apache for “crooked water”, from nearby Pecks Lake, a cutoff meander of the Verde River. This pueblo was built by the Sinagua people between 1125 and 1400 CE.

This beautiful poncho, shown in the Sycamore Canyon (Cozy yarn) and Sedona (Classy yarn) colorways, is knit using fingering weight yarn. Knit top-down, flat, with shoulder shaping and gorgeous mosaics. The back is knit first, then stitches are picked up at the shoulders and the front is knit with the addition of buttonholes. This pattern is easily adjustable for both width and length. Instructions are given on how to do this. Poncho as shown has intarsia color blocks (intarsia can be eliminated - knitter’s preference). Mosaic designs are created using slip stitches. *** Please note that Cozy (Merino, silk, yak) dyes up differently than merino. It starts out with a brown tone. See the Cozy fingering line to see the colors. ​​The poncho with the blue in it, colorway kit Sycamore Canyon, is a smaller version. Made using two less mosaics. It is also made using Cozy fingering.

I enjoyed every part of it. Just when I might get bored the pattern or color changed. Love the yarn, I used the Cozy fingering, Merino, Silk and Yak. It is amazing! It also blocks out beautifully. I made this as a gift but I need to make myself one now! You won't be disappointed with this project! Super cute! Also, I have enough yarn left that I am going to make the Palatki Wrap!!
